Cattleya leopoldii 'Mendenhall' AM/AOS x Cattleya leopoldii 'Claire' AM/AOS
This amazing Brazilian species is known for its huge shows of blooms and fantastic fragrance. With two awarded parents we are expecting good quality from these seedlings. Tall bifoliate growers with glossy summertime blooms. Grow mature plants in very open media that drains freely. Soggy roots are not tolerated.
DO NOT REPOT WHEN YOU RECEIVE THESE PLANTS. Bifoliate Cattleyas are notoriously touchy about being repotted unnecessarily or out of season. We only repot when overgrown AND when new roots are starting.
Plants are established in 2.5" pots.
